We here at CBC Life are just as excited as you about Canada's 150th birthday. So in the month leading up to July 1, we're showcasing some of our country's amazing hidden gems from coast to coast: totally Instagram-worthy food, tiles too pretty to *not* shoot, crazy views and more. #CanadaGem#CBClife

It's officially patio season! And, as most Canadians already know, those lovely words mean it's time for us to emerge from hibernation, strip off some of those long-sleeved layers and get outside to enjoy the sun — with an icey cold bevvy in hand and some scrumptious eats within reach, of course.

Here's a look at some of the most scenic patios fit for warm-weather lounging from coast to coast across the country, our two cents on what makes them so special. We highly recommend patio-hopping across the country to soak up the sun on every last one of 'em!
